Well not the internet itself...but sales taxes on internet sales are nearing a point where, say, just because I live in Wisconsin and buy something in, say, Michigan...I no longer get the sales tax break anymore...that's the law I heard was going to be passed.

That said, Wisconsin has a use tax and I am supposed to pay the State of Wisconsin anyway....but no one does.

aj2181: Taxing the net would be a huge sorce of money that could be used to pay down the debt. It could be used to prop up medicare or social security. It could be used to improve school facilities. It could be used for so many good things.

7x6andchg: Now today I did hear that the feds are talking about allowing the states to add taxes to your ISP bill...it expires tomorrow...could be $5-$10 a month...because the states are starved for money...

ish789: the question is would it be used for good purposed, most money goes to jail libraries or schools and the money that goes to the schools goes straight to the districts pocket. Thats why they dont care if u drop out anymore.
